| Finished up sanding all of the mating/bonding surfaces on both doors, and then drilled the #40 holes around the perimeter of the |
|
| door windows. These get trimmed off later so it's not too critical on spacing. Scribed the 'pilot' lines on the fuse skins, then |
|
| transferred them to the door skins after clecoing them together and to the fuse. Drilled the door skins clecoing them to the fuse |
|
| and then drilled and clecoed the window frame. I clamped the skins to the cabon toop to ensure as close as possible that the |
|
| skins are aligned. After removing the door skins, prepared the Gas Strut striffeners. They were bowed a little too much, but by |
|
| 'gently standing on them I was able to relieve some of the curve and get a much better fit. I had to run to West Marine and pick |
|
| up some Colodial silica (Cabosil) . Them mixed up a couple of oz/s and applied to the pads/stiffeners. I mixed a litle microfiber |
|
| (flox) into the mixture to make it slightly more structural. |
